What’s missing from MacEwan?

MacEwan Community Refugee Project

Merna Schmidt knows that they will be here soon. She just doesn’t know how soon. What she does know is that she’s only going to have four days’ notice when they’re coming — if she’s lucky. But she feels that she is lucky. After all, getting to this point wasn’t...

MacEwan’s murder mystery musical

As someone who is obsessed with television and film, I rarely attend musical theatre, but last week I was lucky enough to take in a MacEwan University production encompassing all that makes live theatre loveable: murder, mystery, melodies, choreography, and comedy...
